hi
thank-you for providing the brief history of you.
A thorough clinical scar exmaination is advised.
As you have scar post ACL reconstruction you need to get the scar mobility back. As scar is a hard tissue applying a soft therapeutic ultrasound therapy massage with help loosen the scar tissue and dissolve it as well.
In my clinical practice such scars are recommended to physical therapy and the scar dissolution is noticed.
